Slide the Yoke Ring
Press down on the slide yoke ring to unlatch the two outer legs so they can be rotated out to the
hoist’s working position or into its storage position. A spring-loaded pin snaps into a hole on the
bottom of the slide tube to lock the folding legs into position.
Using the Backstop
Pivot the backstop down to prevent the base from rolling backward, or up to allow the unit to
wheel freely.
